SAPSASA NEWS

SSO WEEK Thankyou to the teaching staff who spoilt us with a beautiful morning tea and to all the students for the lovely card. Catharine, Catherine, Bern and Judith

We also said farewell to Hilary Ferguson who took Lyn Moore’s place in the R/1 classroom for Weeks 1-4. The children were sad to see Hilary go but also excited to have Mrs. Moore back. Thankyou Hilary.

Casey Cleggett, Georgia Winter and Dusty Nayda-Carter had a great week in Adelaide last week competing in the SAPSASA Netball/Football Carnival. They had great fun meeting new friends and playing sport at another level. SAPSASA Athletics trials were held yesterday in Jamestown. Several of our students competed and had a great day. Students that were successful will compete in Adelaide later in the year. Good luck!

LOST PROPERTY The Lost Property box is RIDICULOUS! We have given up returning items to students as when we do they beat us back to this box by that afternoon. Could parents please talk to their children asking them to be more vigilant with their clothing and personal items. Also if your child is missing items please feel free to come and check this box! Once again a name on jumpers, pants, tops etc. would be a great help, thank you.
